Situated in middle town opposite bustling market Food good in restaurant - fresh and nicely prepared. Dessert not available although on menu. Service very slow but it appears that one staff member was working day and night with little break - need another waitress/waiter to help - especially when there is an influx of guests from cancelled flights as occurred on both nights I was there No wifi but it is poor on the island anyway ##### Rosemary Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near Prophet's Mosque](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prophets-Mosque-Hotels.0-l6118152-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Calabasas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calabasas-Hotels.d10242.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hôtel La Plagne Le Terra Nova](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Plagne-Tarentaise-Hotels-Belambra-Clubs-La-Plagne-Le-Terra-Nova.h3044744.Hotel-Information) > > [Gretna Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Gretna-Hall-Hotel.h1146447.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Collection Hotel, Warsaw](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warsaw-Hotels-Radisson-Collection-Hotel.h894262.Hotel-Information) > > [Forest Retreat & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oveselu-Hotels-Forest-Retreat-Spa.h23184596.Hotel-Information) > > [The Graeme Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falkirk-Hotels-The-Graeme-Hotel.h20519557.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Riyadh RDC Hotel & Convention by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Riyadh-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Riyadh-RDC-Hotel-Convention.h8328717.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Tenerife](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tenerife-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d6047194-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Casa Blu - Adults Only by Checkin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Casa-Blu-By-Checkin.h66471495.Hotel-Information) > > [South Sands Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-South-Sands-Hotel.h77947761.Hotel-Information) > > [Eden Rock is an immaculately presented bungalow situated in the heart of Rock.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wadebridge-Hotels-Eden-Rock-Is-An-Immaculately-Presented-Bungalow-Situated-In-The-Heart-Of-Rock.h41821891.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Mykonos Old Port](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mykonos-Old-Port-Hotels.0-l6322489-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sports Hotels in Hurghada](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hurghada-Hotels-Adventure-Sport-Hotel.0-0-d1512-tAdventureSportHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ramada Grand Tsim Sha Tsui (Former Ramada Hong Kong Grand Tsim Sha Tsui)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kowloon-Hotels-Ramada-Hong-Kong-Grand-Tsim-Sha-Tsui.h5542150.Hotel-Information) > > [Nemea Appart`Hotel Riviera Nice Aeroport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Nemea-Apparthotel-Nice-Riviera.h75699602.Hotel-Information) > > [ALEGRIA Caprici Verd](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Susanna-Hotels-ALEGRIA-Caprici-Verd.h1459661.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Alton Towers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alton-Towers-Hotels.0-l6088073-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [V Hotel Sharm El Sheikh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sharm-El-Sheikh-Hotels-Pyramisa-Sharm-El-Sheikh-Resort.h1396715.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Moray Firth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moray-Firth-Hotels.0-l553248632296867414-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Derby (EMA) to Penzance (LEQ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ema/leq/east-midlands-to-lands-end) > > [Flights from Victoria Falls (VFA) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/vfa/lhr/victoria-falls-to-london) > > [Flights from RIO-All Airports to BHZ-All Airports](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/rio/bhz/rio-de-janeiro-to-belo-horizonte) ### Activities > [Things to do in Falkirk](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Falkirk.d5590.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Deal Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Deal-Beach-England.d6280555.Attraction) > > [Lake Lucerne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Lucerne.d6052087.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Paradise Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paradise-Square-Sheffield-City-Centre.d553248621532492851.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Johnstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johnstone.dx602414)
